Hi, I descend from Samuel Seyle, who was a Soldier-pvt in the 1st PA Regiment, Continental Line. His son, Samuel, was born on November 17, 1777, and married Susannah Wesner on March 6, 1802. She was the daughter of Henry Wesner, a Sargeant in the German Fusiliers of Charleston SC. There is a scroll of the line in the Charleston Historical Society. It is very possible that our lines are connected.
